Overview
The HP NC110T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter is a high-performance PCI Express, single port,
gigabit server adapter that delivers up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet over twisted-pair (copper) category 5 or
better cabling. It is powered by an Intel 82572Gl chipset. The NC110T adapter, which ships with a
standard-height chassis bracket attached and also includes a low-profile chassis bracket, has a fully
integrated controller capable of auto-negotiating a link at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s. Network connection
is made through an RJ-45 connector. LED indicators show the link speed and activity. See LED indicators
(on page
) for details. The adapter is a supported option for selected HP ProLiant servers. The adapter
must be installed in a PCI Express slot.
For the latest functionality, features, and operating system support for this adapter, see the HP website
UTP CAT5 cable
The NC110T adapter can use existing UTP CAT5 (or better) cable to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over
